Last week, “Pilgrim” donors of The Big Cure, a partnership between and the John Wayne Cancer Foundation, celebrated a major milestone: the Big Cure Endowment surpassed its $10 million fundraising goal, reaching $11.3 million! The endowment supports solutions to improve care in rural and underserved communities, including access to specialized physicians, advanced resources and the latest treatment options.

During the gathering, Ethan Wayne shared that it was his father John Wayne’s dying wish to have his name used to fight cancer. Since then, the foundation has helped establish more than 160 John Wayne Alumni Fellows who now treat cancer patients nationwide.

Building on this momentum, TTUHSC recently received approval from the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) to establish a Complex General Surgical Oncology Fellowship Program, making it one of only 43 institutions in the United States and Canada to offer this advanced training. This program will launch in collaboration with UMC Health System.
